There are two towers in Century City by the same designer, although their design isn't as similar, and they are triangular.

That looks like one of those gifs of people doing impressions of birds, but I don't think it is.

I haven't yet watched the video, but from the posted images, it looks like they converted the image itself to a frequency spectrum, so no image format encoding was involved before it reached the point of being audio.

After removing them (or even if there was nothing to remove) I test out links I'm sending in a private browser window to check that they would work for other people.

"Travel Without Moving". Appropriate way to describe VR, even if it's Dune quote.

I have some old checkbooks that have "19__" printed on the date area.

I still have the account, but there's little need to use checks any more.

One of the terrible things is that they will bill you much more if you don't have insurance, or if you have insurance but they are not in your insurance "network" (which is basically your insurer acting like a union to negotiate prices down for it's members).

And there's are those gadgets that have a USB-C socket but don't have the correct circuitry, so that they only work with a USB-A to C cable.

For newer pixels there's a feature that runs a local AI to monitor the conversation and will alert you if the conversation seems scam-like.

Telling grandma to be suspicious of buying Target cards to pay the IRS might be an actual good use for AI.

Pykrete was invented by the cousin of the science TV presenter whose voice can be heard on Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science".

Best phone sync (lemmy.world)

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
